Summary

Partition?s Legacies offers a selection of Joya Chatterji?s finest and most influential essays. ?Partition, nation-making, frontiers, refugees, minority formation, and categories of citizenship have been my preoccupations,? she writes in the preface, and these are also the major themes of this book.Chatterji?s first book, Bengal Divided, shifted the focus from Muslim fanaticism as the driving force of Partition towards ?secular? nationalism and Hindu aggression. Her Spoils of Partition rejected the idea of Partition as a breaking apart, showing it to be a process in the remaking of society and state. Her third book, Bengal Diaspora, cowritten with Claire Alexander and Annu Jalais, challenged the idea of migration and resettlement as exceptional situations. Partition?s Legacies can be seen as continuous with Chatterji?s earlier work as well as a distillation and expansion of it.
